We woke up this morning to find that yesterday's dusting of snow turned into an inch or so that stuck to the grass and road. Fortunately, the temps reached the upper 30's with some sun, so most of the white stuff has melted. The ten day forecast looks pretty good for our area--sunny, cold, but, so far, no more snow. We hope to get out of here before any substantial snow amounts hit.

This morning John left right after breakfast to take the Honda to Bemidji for an oil change and to get the right rear tire checked out--it has been losing air
over the past several days. The service man found a nail in the tire. It was in such a spot that he felt repairing the tire would not make it safe for driving and John agreed, so he ended up getting a new tire. We had just put new ones on the car the beginning of June and thought we wouldn't be replacing any for quite some time.

While John was busy in Bemidji, I spent some time this
morning with computer tech support working on our office PC. The computer was running slow, freezing up, and the mouse wasn't working right. They took over the computer and within 45 minutes had it working good as new. I then spent the rest of the morning cleaning out the kitchen cabinets sorting through what foods to pack and what to leave here until next spring. We have managed to get the food down to a good level--not too much to take or leave behind.

Following lunch, John got the one garage all locked up for the winter. JD will use the house garage to store the plowing pickup so he doesn't need to keep the other one cleared this winter. I started sorting through the freezer and getting some of the foods sealed and ready for the trip. We still have a little more work to do on that project.

Matt called this evening and asked John to come up and help with cutting up the deer. The guys started out in the garage cutting the meat off the carcass and then took it down the basement where Matt has an area set up for processing the it. Isaac wants to take some venison to his grandfather tomorrow and we'll also drop some off at Amy's on our way
south.
